You don’t trust in your own skills. You lean on others rather than fightin from your heart. Someone like that can never defeat me! Having power isn’t enough. You have to be able to wield it with a strong heart. Until you can do that, we may have a hundred battles — and we will, because they’re easy to write — but you will never win!

Is Shounencard right? Or will Alex defeat him at last? Stay tuned for just fifty more pages of dramatic posturing before we find out!

Erin: OVA III is out, which means we finally get to see the Dandy in all his animated action! I can think of no better time to release these lyrics, penned by Frey, to the tune of Sammy Davis Jr.’s song “Candyman”…

Who can take a full deck
Shuffle it with skill
Deal it in style and a razor edge or two?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharp

Who can dodge a bullet
Saunter up a wall
Challenge Alucard and give him more than just a brawl?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharp

The Dandy Man, he’ll
Make every hand he deals
Charming as it is malicious
Talk about vampiric wishes
Who else could make a card game vicious?

Who can help the Nazis
Stake out the hotel
Send in lots of soldiers before coming in himself?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharp

The Dandy Man, he’ll
Make every hand he deals
Charming as it is malicious
Talk about vampiric wishes
Who else could make a card game vicious?

Who can take a bullet
Lose a limb or three
Then dissolve into a deck and come back in one piece?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharp
